Question: I have an old machine running Zimbra 5, with a small amount of mail, but important none the less. I want to put on it 8.06. It's an i386 machine. Is this possible?

I just installed Ubuntu 12.04.4 for i386 and it works fine as an OS. Also, I installed all the dependencies it appears for Zimbra because install.sh runs through until it sees the OS is 64-bit.

Thanks for your help.

No, it doesn't. Zimbra 8 requires 64 bit architecture. It would possible to install previous version (Zimbra 6 by example) but Zimbra 6 was end of life. IMHO, Would better to replace the machine if you wish to stick on Zimbra.

What about the one 32 bit option I see on the zimbra site to install version 7-something?
